Thank you, Lidia, for putting together this really comprehensive and polished piece.
Courtesy of Lidia17. Excellent work and worth a good, long look, especially in view of Karl Rove now asking for full disclosure of Michelle Bachmann's medical records in light of the information that has come out about her migraine headaches. Things that make you say, "Oh really?" Thank you, Lidia, for putting together this really comprehensive and polished piece.

Lidia17 -- Wonderful! So well done. I hope it will be on YouTube and go viral. Congratulations. I've always meant to tell you I love the title typeface -- it always reminds me of The Scarlet Letter, that era, and the red "A." And esp the sins of Rev Dimmesdale. I bet he would be a rel-right-Repub if he lived today.

Another great Lidia vid! Only thing it's missing (for me) is a voiceover of Sarah telling one audience in 2009 how Trig was born at Matsu Hospital in Wasilla and another audience a year later that he was born in Anchorage.

Why doesn't she have that aggravating affectation in her voice when she is narrating her book and speaking to the reporter?

These videos are superb, they leave NO doubt in my mind that the half-term half-wit was NOT pregnant when she claimed to be. We need to find a way to get the videos out to the mainstream.

I think it most important to continue to stress that Palin either A) thoughtlessly put her unborn baby at tremendous risk with the "wild ride" or B) brazenly attempted a pregnancy hoax. Either demonstrates extraordinarily poor judgment.

Still a great video! Thank you Lidia. The Only suggestion I have which IMHO would add alot of impact is at the frame where Sarah states that "Desperation for this baby overwhelmed me"...then put in where she says she didn't want to disappoint the people at the energy conference. Well, it seems as a mother if desperation for your baby overwhelmed you, the energy conference people would not matter a hoot. More like "desperation for my ambitions overwhelmed me" .

Wow, seeing and hearing all that makes you wonder if this woman is insane! And it becomes very obvious that she was not, indeed, pregnant. She wore her little suit for the speech, and then packed it for the trip home, as it would have been obvious that she 'looked' pregnant when she wore it, and the airlines might have refused to fly her home for the big charade. And this woman thinks she should be President? She doesn't have the morals of a snail, the brains of an ant, nor the empathy of a rock. Go away, Sarah, and take your lies with you.

I think one of the clearest indicators that Sarah Palin was never pregnant with Trig is the way she constantly says in various clips gathered here that she was "four or five weeks early." Four OR five? Which was it, Sarah? You were pregnant and you didn't know how long you had left? We're to believe she never bothered to do the math?

Your videos, Lidia, are my go-to now when friends don't know the hoax story. I've given the links out several times. Thank you for doing your part to not just stop Sarah Palin, but to help insure that this kind of national political figure doesn't happen again and sully the good name of WOMAN.

Yes, REAL birth mothers remember just about everything about the births of their children, forever. My 91 y/o mother will tell anyone who wants to listen that I was born 28 days late, she was in labor for more than 24 hours, and that I came out "bass ackwards". She remembers the same sort of info on my brother. Those births occurred more than 60 years ago!

@OzMud, I didn't include the Anchorage discrepancy because the news about that came out about a week after I'd already made the video and posted it.

The video is exceptionally well done. There are other discrepancies in Palin's story that I'd love to see memorialized -- CBJ's statement that Sarah didn't ask for permission to fly is one -- but I realize the time constraints of the format and think Lidia did an extraordinary job.

You do the videos so well that I would say "complete the oeuvre!" -- except I too am soooooooooo dismayed by the lack of interest.

@curiouser, I have been inclined to stay away from statements that sound possibly second-hand. I don't think the "permission to fly" was a direct quote, but I can check.

Sarah did not contact or go to a hospital in Texas because she was not pregnant.

@lidia - Hypothetically (because there's maybe 0.5% of a chance Palin got on a plane while she was in labor) and from an evangelical perspective, I suggest she wouldn't have felt she was taking any risk. The God factor is significant; all of her decisions keep her in God's will. God put it in her heart to get home to AK. Had there been a risk, He would have stopped her from getting on the plane or otherwise informed her heart to stay in Dallas.

I don't think she got a call from Bristol that she had given birth. I think they knew the baby known as Trig was ready to be picked up and they chose a time when they could easily slip into the hospital and run the game.

Wonderful video(s), Lidia. Thank you so much for creating them! Someday they will be "noticed" and appreciated by more than the faithful. As Andrew Sullivan says, Know hope.

Vefifica, how interesting that Palin decided to eliminate security just 3 days before her announcement of pregnancy, and despite her daughters allegedly being threatened with rape.

Does Britta Hanson Palin look far more pregnant when she is due in August than Sarah Palin did in the March 14? Shot in the blackish suit with her ever handy scarf.
